Gentlemen : 
More varieties, lower prices, higher discounts and un- 
conditionally guaranteed quality! That, together with prompt 
service, is what we are offering you in rooted carnation cuttings 
for the 1955-56 season. 
Last season, three successive hurricanes seriously dam- 
aged our range, ruined thousands of plants, shortened our supply, 
and upset our propagating schedule. Also, in our attempt to find 
the best possible rooting medium, we experimented with many mater— 
ials and combinations. This consumed a lot of time, and the loss 
of some cuttings. 
We settled on Perlite as being the best available propa- 
gating material, and are now using it exclusively. We have learned 
how to get best results from this fine material under all condi- 
tions. We do not expect that hurricanes will strike us two years in 
a row. 
Therefore, we feel that we can safely promise top grade 
rooted cuttings delivered just about when you want them. In fact 
we are so sure that you will be pleased with the cuttings we send 
you that we will give you two cuttings absolutely free for every 
cutting which you find upon arrival is not clean, vigorous and 
well rooted. 
But we offer even more! We have lowered our prices. We 
also offer a 10% discount for payment with your order. And for a 
limited time only, we are offering again a bonus of 10% extra cut- 
tings without charge on every order which is paid for when it is 
placed. Good stock, low prices, high discounts, and an uncondi- 
tional guarantee of quality. You couldn't ask for much more than 
that. Take advantage of this offer now, and place your order 
early so that yOu may have delivery when you want it. 
Cordially yours, 
SIM CARNATION COMPANY, Inc.
